Used to be a cha cha

Cloud Nine

Linda Mujer

With a title like “Linda Mujer” one would think that this piece would be a romantic ballad. Instead, it is a sprite composition, masterfully rendered in two pianos by Rebecca Cline and Nicki Denner. Also part of the 2011 Ahora, Latin/Jazz! series, June 3, 2011.

Autumn Leaves

Here Rebecca Cline and Nicki Denner discuss the elements that distinguish the Caribbean style of piano playing and illustrate how these elements infuse jazz by “Norophying” the jazz standard Autumm Leaves. Ahora, Latin/Jazz!, June 3, 2011
